TITAN MACHINERY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. The information contained in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the fiscal year then ended. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC.
Nature of Business
The Company is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through its stores in the United States and Europe. The Company’s North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Concurrent with the adoption of new lease accounting guidance, the Company elected to reclassify finance lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2019 to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. The amounts reclassified included $1.3 million from current maturities of long-term debt to accrued expenses and other and $5.1 million from long-term debt, less current maturities to other long-term liabilities. These reclassifications had no impact on total current liabilities, total long-term liabilities or total liabilities and stockholders' equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported within the consolidated statements of cash flows have been made to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new leasing standard applicable for lessees and lessors and codified in Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, ("ASC 842") to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition on the balance sheet by a lessee of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. The standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease activities. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
The Company adopted the leasing guidance on February 1, 2019 using a prospective transition method at the adoption date and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as a result of adoption. Under this method of adoption, prior period amounts are not adjusted and will continue to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients afforded under the guidance, which applies to leases that commenced prior to adoption and permits an entity not to: 1) reassess whether existing or expired contracts are or contain a lease, 2) reassess the lease classification, and 3) reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term, but rather included the lease term as defined under former leasing guidance to capitalize the right-of-use asset and lease liability upon adoption. The Company identified new, and updated existing, internal controls and processes to ensure compliance with the new standard, but such modifications were not deemed to be material to our overall system of internal controls.
Adoption of the new standard for leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet but did not have an impact on our consolidated statement of operations or cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for financing leases remained substantially unchanged. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 1, 2019 of $5.5 million primarily resulting from impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets present on the date of adoption, net of the deferred tax impact. The adoption of the new standard for leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor did not impact our consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows. The Company has included the additional disclosures required under ASC 842 in Note 13.
Adoption of ASC 842 impacted our consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2019 as follows:

(f) As described in (b) above, includes the reclassification of finance lease liabilities, net of the ASC 842 adoption impact of reclassifying straight-line rent accrued liabilities and cease-use liabilities, and the cumulative-effect adjustment recognized in retained earnings for gains deferred on previous sale-leaseback transactions.
(g) Cumulative-effect adjustment of $6.6 million for operating lease right-of-use asset impairment present on the date of adoption net of the adjustment for deferred gains on previous sale-leaseback transactions of $0.7 million and the deferred tax impact of these adjustments, net of the valuation allowance recognized on such deferred tax assets.
Unadopted Accounting Guidance
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard, codified in ASC 326, that modifies how entities measure credit losses on most financial instruments. The new standard replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. While we are currently evaluating the impact to our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance, we do not anticipate that the guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract, codified in ASC 350-40. This guidance aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be applied using either a retrospective or prospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact to our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue
Unbilled receivables amounted to $16.7 million and $11.2 million as of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019. The increase in unbilled receivables is primarily the result of a seasonal increase in the volume of our service transactions in which we recognize revenue as our work is performed and prior to customer invoicing.
Deferred revenue from contracts with customers amounted to $29.3 million and $44.9 million as of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019. Our deferred revenue most often increases in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year due to a higher level of customer down payments or prepayments and longer time periods between customer payment and delivery of the equipment asset, and the related recognition of equipment revenue, prior to its seasonal use. During the six months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $41.2 million and $27.0 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2019 and January 31, 2018, respectively. No material amount of revenue was recognized during the three or six months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
The Company has elected as a practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of service of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The contracts for which the practical expedient has been applied include (i) equipment revenue transactions, which do not have a stated contractual term, but are short-term in nature, and (ii) service revenue transactions, which also do not have a stated contractual term but are generally completed within 30 days and for such contracts we recognize revenue over time at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services completed to date.

As the result of a current period operating loss combined with historical losses and anticipated future operating losses of certain store locations, the Company recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $0.1 million within its Construction segment during the three month period ended April 30, 2019 and $0.2 million within its International segment during the three month period ended July 31, 2018.
In March 2019, the Company completed an assessment of its Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") application, and concluded that the Company will begin the process to prepare for conversion to a new ERP application during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, with an anticipated implementation of the new ERP application during the first-half of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021. Beginning in March 2019, the Company prospectively adjusted the useful life of its current ERP application such that it will be fully amortized upon its estimated replacement date. The net book value of the ERP asset of $8.7 million as of March 2019 will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining period of use. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2019, the Company recognized an additional $1.4 million and $2.3 million of amortization expense, which decreased operating income accordingly, decreased net income by approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million, and decreased basic and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.05 and $0.08, respectively.
NOTE 7 - FLOORPLAN PAYABLE/LINES OF CREDIT
As of July 31, 2019, the Company had floorplan lines of credit totaling $640.0 million, which is primarily comprised of three significant floorplan lines of credit: (i) a $400.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, (ii) a $140.0 million line of credit with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Wells Fargo Credit Agreement"), and (iii) a $45.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance LLC.
As of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the Company's outstanding balances of floorplan payables and lines of credit consisted of the following:

As of July 31, 2019, the interest-bearing U.S. floorplan payables carried various interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 5.81%, compared to a range of 4.77% to 6.30% as of January 31, 2019. As of July 31, 2019, foreign floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 0.88% to 8.62%, compared to a range of 0.94% to 8.51% as of January 31, 2019. As of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, $269.3 million and $151.7 million of outstanding floorplan payable were non-interest bearing. As of July 31, 2019, the Company had a compensating balance arrangement under one of its foreign floorplan credit facilities, which requires a minimum cash deposit to be maintained with the lender in the amount of $5.0 million for the term of the credit facility.
Wells Fargo Credit Agreement
The maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement was previously contingent upon the results of a maturity test that was performed on February 1, 2019, a date that was three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Company's outstanding senior convertible notes. Pursuant to this test, the maturity date for the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement would be October 28, 2020 so long as (i) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2018 was at least 1.10 to 1.00 and (ii) a liquidity test, requiring that the Company have unrestricted cash on hand plus excess borrowing availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (on a pro-forma basis reflecting the Company’s repayment in full of its outstanding senior convertible notes) in an amount that was greater than 20% of maximum credit amount under the facility, was met on February 1, 2019. If both financial tests were not satisfied on February 1, 2019, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement would immediately mature and all amounts outstanding would become immediately due and payable in full. The Company satisfied the maturity test requirements on February 1, 2019, and therefore the maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement is October 28, 2020.

NOTE 11 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on outstanding intercompany loans. The Company does not formally designate and document such derivative instruments as hedging instruments; however, the instruments are an effective economic hedge of the underlying foreign currency exposure. Both the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying intercompany loan are recognized in earnings immediately, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts generally have three-month maturities, maturing on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The notional value of outstanding foreign currency contracts as of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019 was $3.4 million and $14.1 million.
As of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments was not material. Derivative instruments recognized as assets are recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheets, and derivative instruments recognized as liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table sets forth the gains and losses recognized in income from the the Company’s derivative instruments for the three and six months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018. Gains and losses are recognized in interest income and other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations:

NOTE 13 - LEASES
As Lessee
The Company, as lessee, leases certain of its dealership locations, office space, equipment and vehicles under operating and financing classified leasing arrangements. The Company has elected to not record leases with a lease term at commencement of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet; such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many real estate lease agreements require the Company to pay the real estate taxes on the properties during the lease term and require that the Company maintain property insurance on each of the leased premises. Such payments are deemed to be variable lease payments as the amounts may change during the term of the lease. Certain leases include renewal options that can extend the lease term for periods of one to ten years. Most real estate leases grant the Company a right of first refusal or other options to purchase the real estate, generally at fair market value, either during the lease term or at its conclusion. In most cases, the Company has not included these renewal and purchase options within the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Most often the Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease and thus applies its incremental borrowing rate to capitalize the right-of-use asset and lease liability. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate by incorporating considerations of lease term, asset class and lease currency and geographical market. Our lease agreements do not contain any material non-lease components, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company subleases a small number of real estate assets to third-parties, primarily dealership locations for which we have ceased operations. All sublease arrangements are classified as operating leases.

As Lessor
The Company rents equipment to customers, primarily in the Construction segment, on a short-term basis. Our rental arrangements generally do not include minimum, noncancellable periods as the lessee is entitled to cancel the arrangement at any time. Most often, our rental arrangements extend for periods ranging from a few days to a few months. We maintain a fleet of dedicated rental assets within our Construction segment and, within all segments, may also provide short-term rentals of certain equipment inventory assets. Certain rental arrangements may include rent-to-purchase options whereby customers are given a period of time to exercise an option to purchase the related equipment at an established price with any rental payments paid applied to reduce the purchase price.
All of the Company's leasing arrangements as lessor are classified as operating leases. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental period. Rental revenue includes amounts charged for loss and damage insurance on rented equipment. In most cases, our rental arrangements include non-lease components, including delivery and pick-up services. The Company accounts for these non-lease components separate from the rental arrangement and recognizes the revenue associated with these components when the service is performed. The Company has elected to exclude from rental revenue all sales, value added and other taxes collected from our customers concurrent with our rental activities. Rental billings most often occur on a monthly basis and may be billed in advance or in arrears, thus creating unbilled rental receivables or deferred rental revenue amounts. The Company manages the residual value risk of its rented assets by (i) monitoring the quality, aging and anticipated retail market value of our rental fleet assets to determine the optimal period to remove an asset from the rental fleet, (ii)

17


maintaining the quality of our assets through on-site parts and service support and (iii) requiring physical damage insurance of our lessee customers. We primarily dispose of our rental assets through the sale of the asset by our retail sales force.
Revenue generated from leasing activities is disclosed, by segment, in Note 3. The following is the balance of our dedicated rental fleet assets of our Construction segment as of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019:

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company's foreign currency contracts, which are either assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, was not material. These foreign currency contracts were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, an income approach, utilizing readily observable market data as inputs, which is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Company also valued certain long-lived assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 31, 2019 as part of its long-lived asset impairment testing. The estimated fair value of such assets $0.9 million. Fair value was estimated through an income approach incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs, and are deemed to be Level 3 fair value inputs. The most significant unobservable inputs include forecasted net cash generated from the use of the assets and the discount rate applied to such cash flows to arrive at a fair value estimate.
The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, including cash, receivables, payables, long-term debt and senior convertible notes. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values as of July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019. Fair value of these financial instruments was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.
NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate was 25.8% and 33.5% for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, and was 26.7% and 36.6% for the six months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018. Our effective tax rate differs from the domestic federal statutory tax rate due to the mix of domestic and foreign income or losses and the impact of the recognition of valuation allowances on our U.S. federal, state and certain of our foreign deferred tax assets, including net operating losses.
NOTE 16 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Fiscal 2020
On January 1, 2019, the Company, through its German subsidiary, acquired certain assets of ESB Agrartechnik GmbH ("ESB"). ESB is a full-service agriculture equipment dealership in Eastern Germany. Our acquisition of ESB further expands our presence in the German market. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The total consideration transferred for the acquired business was $3.0 million paid in cash. The business assets acquired consisted of $1.5 million in inventory, $0.8 million of other tangible assets, and $0.7 million of intangible assets, which included $0.5 million of goodwill that will be assigned to the International segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The recognition of goodwill arose primarily from the acquisition of an assembled workforce. Acquisition-related transaction costs were not material. This acquisition was recognized in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 as the acquisition occurred within our International segment in which all entities maintain a calendar year reporting period.
Fiscal 2019
On July 2, 2018, the Company acquired all interests of two commonly-controlled companies, AGRAM Landtechnikvertrieb GmbH and AGRAM Landtechnik Rollwitz GmbH (collectively "AGRAM"), for $19.2 million in cash consideration. Founded in 1990, AGRAM is a CaseIH and Steyr dealership complex consisting of four agriculture dealership locations in the following cities of Germany: Altranft, Burkau, Gutzkow, and Rollwitz. Our acquisition of these entities provides the Company the opportunity to expand our international presence into the large, well-established German market.

18


The AGRAM acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the Company to estimate the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the consideration paid exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in the recognition of $0.9 million of goodwill. The recognition of goodwill arose from the acquisition of an assembled workforce and anticipated synergies within our International segment. The entire goodwill amount was assigned to the International segment and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company recognized a customer relationship intangible asset in the amount of $0.1 million, which will be amortized over a three-year period, and recognized a distribution rights intangible asset in the amount of $1.8 million that is an indefinite-lived intangible asset not subject to amortization. The Company estimated the fair value of the customer relationship and distribution rights intangible assets using a multi-period excess earnings model, an income approach. All acquisition-related costs, which amounted to $0.2 million, have been expensed as incurred and recognized as operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 17 - CONTINGENCIES
On October 11, 2017, the Romania Competition Council (“RCC”) initiated an administrative investigation of the Romanian Association of Manufacturers and Importers of Agricultural Machinery (“APIMAR”) and all its members, including Titan Machinery Romania. The RCC's investigation involves whether the APIMAR members engaged in anti-competitive practices in their sales of agricultural machinery not involving European Union ("EU") subvention funding programs, by referring to the published sales prices governing EU subvention funded transactions, which prices are mandatorily disclosed to and published by AFIR, a Romanian government agency that oversees the EU subvention funding programs in Romania. The investigation is in a preliminary stage and the Company is currently unable to predict its outcome or reasonably estimate any potential loss that may result from the investigation.
The Company is also engaged in other legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention. Based upon the information available to the Company and discussions with legal counsel, it is the Company's opinion that the outcome of these various legal actions and claims will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These matters, however, are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any matter is not predictable with assurance.

19


NOTE 18 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and International. Revenue between segments is immaterial. The Company retains various unallocated income/(expense) items and assets at the general corporate level, which the Company refers to as “Shared Resources” in the table below. Shared Resources assets primarily consist of cash and property and equipment.
Certain financial information for each of the Company’s business segments is set forth below. All revenue amounts for the three and six months ended July 31, 218 shown below are presented on an as corrected basis following the correction of an immaterial error identified in previously issued financial statements.

NOTE 19 - IMMATERIAL RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, the Company identified an immaterial error within its financial statements, including in the results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018. The identified error was the result of incorrectly eliminating certain internal parts and service transactions. The adjustments to correct for this error reduce total revenue and cost of revenue by approximately 1.0% and impact the amounts of previously reported equipment, parts, service and rental and other revenue and cost of revenue amounts, but have no impact on total gross profit, operating or net income, earnings per share, or the consolidated balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Management of the Company has evaluated all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors and has concluded that the error is not material to the results of operations for the previously reported periods. The Company has restated its accompanying statement of operations to correct for this immaterial error for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018.

ITEM 2.                        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019
Overview
We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States and Europe. Based upon information provided to us by CNH Industrial N.V. or its U.S. subsidiary CNH Industrial America, LLC, we are the largest retail dealer of Case IH Agriculture equipment in the world, the largest retail dealer of Case Construction equipment in North America and a major retail dealer of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We operate our business through three reportable segments, Agriculture, Construction and International. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, service, and equipment rental and other activities.
Demand for agriculture equipment and, to a lesser extent, parts and service support, are impacted by agriculture commodity prices and net farm income. Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture publications, the most recent estimate of net farm income for calendar year 2018 indicated an approximate 8.0% increase as compared to calendar year 2017, and estimated an approximate 5.0% increase in net farm income for calendar year 2019, as compared to calendar year 2018.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, our net income was $5.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.31 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $0.28 for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
Revenue increased 6.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter last year. This revenue increase was the result of increased revenues within our Agriculture and Construction segments, but partially offset by decreased equipment revenue within our International segment.
Gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 improved to 20.3%, compared to 19.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily the result of a change in gross profit mix with more revenue generated by our higher margin service business in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter last year.
Operating expenses increased $7.2 million, or 15.2%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter last year. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 16.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 to 17.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in operating expenses is primarily the result of our AGRAM acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, incremental costs associated with our ERP transition, and other costs required to support the higher business volumes experienced in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to last year.
Floorplan and other interest expense decreased a combined 43.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in our level of interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and the repayment in full of our senior convertible notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
AGRAM Acquisition
On July 2, 2018, we continued our strategy of acquiring dealerships in desired market areas with our acquisition of two commonly-controlled companies, AGRAM Landtechnikvertrieb GmbH and AGRAM Landtechnik Rollwitz GmbH (collectively "AGRAM"). AGRAM consists of four Case IH agriculture dealership locations in the following cities of Germany; Altranft, Burkau, Gutzkow, and Rollowitz. Total cash consideration paid in the acquisition was $19.2 million, which the Company financed through available cash resources and capacity under our existing floorplan payable and other credit facilities. The four AGRAM dealerships are included within our International segment.


22


ERP Transition
In March 2019, the Company completed an assessment of its Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") application and concluded that the Company will begin the process to prepare for conversion to a new ERP application during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, with an anticipated implementation of the new ERP application during the first-half of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021. The new ERP application is expected to provide the latest data-driven and mobile-enabled sales and support tools to improve employee efficiency and deliver an enhanced customer experience. Beginning in March 2019, we prospectively adjusted the useful life of our current ERP application such that it will be fully amortized upon its estimated replacement date.
During the three and six months ended July 31, 2019, we recognized ERP transition costs, which include additional amortization expense of our current ERP application and external costs associated with implementing the new ERP application, of $1.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the remainder of fiscal 2020, we expect to recognize incremental ERP transition costs of approximately $4.0 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. Other than the adoption of the lease accounting guidance described in Note 1, Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 13, Leases, to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no other changes in our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2019.
Results of Operations
The results shown below include the operating results of any acquisitions made during these periods and the operating results of any stores closed during these periods up to the date of the store closure. The period-to-period comparisons included below are not necessarily indicative of future results. Segment information is provided later in this discussion and analysis of our results of operations.
All revenue and cost of revenue amounts for three and six months ended July 31, 2018 are presented on an as corrected basis after correcting for an immaterial error identified during the year ended January 31, 2019 in these previously issued financial statements. The correction of this immaterial error reduced total revenue and cost of revenue by approximately 1.0% and impacted the amounts of previously reported equipment, parts, service and rental and other revenue and cost of revenue, but had no impact on total gross profit, operating or net income, or earnings per-share. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information
Same-store sales for any period represent sales by stores that were part of the Company for the entire comparable periods in the current and preceding fiscal years. We do not distinguish between relocated or newly-expanded stores in this same-store analysis. Closed stores are excluded from the same-store analysis. Stores that do not meet the criteria for same-store classification are described as excluded stores throughout the Results of Operations section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The increase in revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was the result of increased revenues within our Agriculture and Construction segments, including revenue increases from our equipment, parts and service businesses. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in equipment revenue within our International segment. Company-wide same-store sales increased 2.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenue was also positively impacted by our AGRAM acquisition completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 8.7% as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin improved to 20.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 19.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of increased revenue. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily the result of a change in gross profit mix resulting from a higher percentage of revenue generated by our higher margin service business. An improvement in rental and other gross profit margin also contributed to the gross profit margin improvement.
Our company-wide absorption rate decreased to 77.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 79.0% during the same period last year as the increase in gross profit from parts, service, and rental and other in the second quarter of fiscal

25


2020 was more than offset by an increase in operating expenses during the period. Our absorption rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was also negatively impacted by ERP transition costs recognized during the period.

Our operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased $7.2 million, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, as a result of increased International segment operating expenses resulting from our AGRAM acquisition, ERP transition costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and increased other costs required to support the higher business volumes in our Agriculture and Construction segments. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 17.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 from 16.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to ERP transition costs recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the decrease in International equipment revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs within this segment.

We recognized $0.2 million of impairment charges on certain long-lived assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. No impairment charges were recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Restructuring costs of $0.6 million were recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and arose from the Company's revised assumptions, based on changes in circumstances, for previously recognized cease-use lease liabilities. No restructuring costs were recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Floorplan interest expense decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily as a result of lower levels of interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in other interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, is primarily the result of decreased interest expense on our senior convertible notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 following our repayment in full of the outstanding balance on May 1, 2019. In addition, other interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 includes a $0.6 million loss recognized on the repurchase of a portion of our senior convertible notes during that period. The decrease in interest income and other income (expense) in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 is primarily the result of differences in foreign currency gains recognized during the periods, with a strengthening U.S. dollar in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 creating foreign currency gains during that period.

Our effective tax rate was 25.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 33.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of income or losses in our domestic and international jurisdictions as well as the impact of recognizing valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, including net operating losses. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, was primarily the result of the mix of income amongst our tax jurisdictions.

Agriculture 
Agriculture segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 9.1% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, all of which was due to a same-store sales increase. The revenue increase was the result of increased equipment revenue arising from customer replacement demand despite the aforementioned difficult industry conditions, plus increases in parts and service revenues.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes was $6.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The improvement in segment results was primarily the result of increased revenue but partially offset by increased operating expenses required to support increased volumes within this segment.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 8.4% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in revenue, all of which was due to a same-store sales increase, was the result of increased revenue from our equipment, parts and service businesses. Rental and other revenue within our Construction segment decreased slightly in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
Our Construction segment income before income taxes was $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to break-even in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The improvement in segment results was primarily due to increased revenue and improved gross profit margins, but partially offset by increased operating expenses required to support

27


increased volumes within this segment. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet increased from 25.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 to 25.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
International
International segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 3.8% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in segment revenue was the result of a same-store sales decrease of 19.8%, but partially offset by the incremental revenue from our AGRAM acquisition completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in same-store sales was primarily the result of decreased equipment revenue resulting from challenging industry conditions in certain of our markets reducing industry volumes in those markets.
Our International segment income before income taxes was $0.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $3.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment results was primarily the result of decreased equipment revenue and the resulting negative impact on our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs within this segment. In addition, the second quarter of fiscal 2019 also benefited from foreign currency gains resulting from a strengthening U.S. dollar.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.9 million for the same period last year.

The increase in revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019 was the result of increased revenue from all revenue sources and across all segments. Same-store sales increased 6.3% over the comparable prior year period resulting from increased revenues within our Agriculture and Construction segment, but partially offset by a same-store sales decrease within our International segment. Our total revenue increase was also positively impacted by our AGRAM acquisition.

The $11.5 million increase in gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to higher revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2020 and improved gross profit margins, from 19.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2019 to 19.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2020. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily the result of a change in gross profit mix resulting from a higher percentage of revenue generated by our higher margin service business. An improvement in rental and other gross profit margin also contributed to the gross profit margin improvement.
Our company-wide absorption for the first six months of fiscal 2020 decreased slightly to 72.6% as compared to 72.7% during the same period last year. Our absorption rate for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was negatively impacted by ERP transition costs recognized during the period.

Our operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2020 increased $13.1 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019 primarily as a result of increased International segment operating expenses resulting from our AGRAM acquisition, ERP transition costs incurred in the first six months of fiscal 2020, and increased other costs required to support higher business volumes in our Agriculture and Construction segments. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2020 from 17.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to ERP transition costs recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2020 and the decrease in International equipment revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2020, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs within this segment.

The decrease in floorplan interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to a decrease in our interest-bearing inventory in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Interest expense associated with our senior convertible notes, which is reflected in other interest expense, decreased $1.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same period last year, due to interest expense savings resulting from our partial repurchase of senior convertible notes during the first six months of 2019 and the repayment of the remaining outstanding principal balance on the maturity date of May 1, 2019. In addition, other interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2019 includes a $0.6 million loss recognized on the senior convertible notes repurchased during the period. The decrease in interest income and other income (expense) for the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily the result of differences in foreign currency gains recognized during the periods, with a strengthening U.S. dollar in the first six months of fiscal 2019 creating foreign currency gains during that period.

Our effective tax rate was 26.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2020 and 36.6% for the same period last year. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of income or losses in our domestic and international jurisdictions as well as the impact of recognizing valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, including net operating losses. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily the result of the mix of income amongst our tax jurisdictions.

Agriculture 
Agriculture segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2020 increased 8.7% compared to the same period last year, all of which was due to a same-store sales increase. The revenue increase was the result of increased equipment revenue arising from customer replacement demand despite the aforementioned difficult industry conditions, plus increases in parts and service revenues.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes was $8.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $6.3 million over the first six months of fiscal 2019. The improvement in segment results was largely the result of increased revenue, but partially offset by increased operating expenses required to support increased volumes within this segment.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2020 increased 11.7% compared to the same period last year, all of which was due to a same-store sales increase, and arose from increased revenue from all sources, equipment, parts, service, and rental and other.
Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $0.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $2.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. The improvement in segment results was primarily due to increased revenue and improved gross profit margins, but partially offset by increased operating expenses required to support increased activity within this segment. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet increased from 21.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2019 to 23.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2020.
International
International segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2020 increased 9.7% compared to the same period last year primarily due to our AGRAM acquisition that was completed early in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Partially offsetting the impact of our AGRAM acquisition is a same-store sales decrease of 7.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period last year due to decreased equipment revenue resulting from challenging industry conditions in certain of our markets.
Our International segment income before income taxes was $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment results was primarily the result of decreased equipment revenue and the resulting negative impact on our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs within this segment. In addition, the first six months of fiscal 2019 also benefited from foreign currency gains resulting from a strengthening U.S. dollar.

31


Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $1.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to loss before income taxes of $1.4 million for the same period last year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"), both GAAP measures, we present adjusted net income and adjusted Diluted EPS, both non-GAAP measures, which include adjustments for ERP transition costs, losses on repurchases of senior convertible notes, and restructuring and impairment charges. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted Diluted EPS is relevant and useful to our management and investors because it provides a measurement of earnings on activities that we consider to occur in the ordinary course of our business. Adjusted net income and adjusted Diluted EPS should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most comparable GAAP measure. In addition, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures in a different manner, which may hinder comparability of our adjusted results with those of other companies.
The following tables reconcile (i) net income, a GAAP measure, to adjusted net income and (ii) Diluted EPS, a GAAP measure, to adjusted Diluted EPS:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our floorplan payable and other credit facilities. We expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other investments in our business, service our debt, pay our tax and lease obligations and other commitments and contingencies, and meet any seasonal operating requirements for the foreseeable future, provided, however, that our borrowing capacity under our credit agreements is dependent on compliance with various covenants as further described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report in Form 10-K.
Equipment Inventory and Floorplan Payable Credit Facilities
As of July 31, 2019, the Company had floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling $640.0 million, which is primarily comprised of a $400.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, a $140.0 million floorplan payable line under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, and a $45.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance.
The maturity date of our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement was previously contingent upon the results of a maturity test that was performed on February 1, 2019. Pursuant to this test, the maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement would be October 28, 2020 so long as (i) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2018 was at least 1.10 to 1.00 and (ii) a liquidity test, requiring that the Company have unrestricted cash on hand plus excess borrowing availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (on a pro-forma basis reflecting the Company’s repayment in full of its outstanding Senior Convertible Notes) in an amount that was greater than 20% of maximum credit amount under the facility, was met on February 1, 2019. If both financial tests were not satisfied on February 1, 2019, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement would immediately mature and all amounts outstanding would become immediately due and payable in full. The Company satisfied the maturity test requirements on February 1, 2019, and therefore the maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement is October 28, 2020.
Our equipment inventory turnover remained 1.7 times for the four quarter period ended July 31, 2019 as it was for the four quarter period ended July 31, 2018. The increase in equipment sales volume over the four quarter period ended July 31, 2019 as compared to the four quarter period ended July 31, 2018 was largely offset by an increase in our average equipment inventory over these time periods. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, decreased to 17.4% as of July 31, 2019 from 34.4% as of January 31, 2019. The decrease in our equity in equipment inventory is primarily due to the seasonal stocking of new equipment inventories during the six months ended July 31, 2019 and the higher level of floorplan financing available on such inventories, and increased borrowing on our floorplan lines of credit following the repayment of our outstanding senior convertible notes on May 1, 2019.
Senior Convertible Notes
The Company's senior convertible notes matured on May 1, 2019. The Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of $45.6 million on the maturity date using available cash resources and available borrowing capacity under our various floorplan payable lines of credit.
Long-Term Debt
The Company finalized two real estate mortgage financing arrangements during the six month period ended July 31, 2019. The financing arrangements, with an aggregate outstanding balance as of July 31, 2019 of approximately $11.0 million, require monthly or quarterly installment payments, which in the aggregate amount to approximately $0.5 million quarterly, with one arrangement requiring a final payment at maturity in June 2024 of $3.4 million. The financing arrangements are secured by real estate assets.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our operating activities, including the purchase of inventories and providing for other working capital needs, meeting our debt service requirements, making payments due under our various leasing arrangements, funding capital expenditures, including rental fleet assets, and repurchasing and repaying our outstanding senior convertible notes. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under our existing credit facilities will adequately provide for our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months.
As of July 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our CNH Industrial and DLL Finance credit agreements and we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement

33


as our adjusted excess availability plus eligible cash collateral (as defined therein) was not less than 15% of the total amount of the credit facility as of July 31, 2019. While not expected to occur, if anticipated operating results create the likelihood of a future covenant violation, we would expect to work with our lenders on an appropriate modification or amendment to our financing arrangements.
Cash Flow
Cash Flow Provided By Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $6.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared to $14.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. The change in net cash used for operating activities is primarily the result of seasonal inventory stocking and the mix of floorplan financing between manufacturer and non-manufacturer floorplan financing and other working capital requirements.
We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and maintaining a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory. Taking these adjustments into account, our adjusted cash flow used for operating activities was $49.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $36.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. The increase in adjusted cash flow used for operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2020 is primarily the result of increased equipment inventory stocking during the first six months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the same period last year. See the Adjusted Cash Flow Reconciliation below for a reconciliation of adjusted cash flow used for operating activities to the GAAP measure of cash flow used for operating activities.
Cash Flow Used For Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $14.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared to $5.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. The increase in cash used for investing activities was the result of cash used for our acquisition of ESB Agrartechnik and an increased level of property and equipment purchases, including rental fleet, for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period last year.
Cash Flow Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $15.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. For both periods, net cash provided by financing activities was impacted by increased non-manufacturer floorplan payables associated with seasonal inventory stocking, repurchasing or repaying our senior convertible notes and repaying other long-term debt obligations. In addition, during the first six months of fiscal 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was impacted by borrowings under new real estate financing arrangements.
Adjusted Cash Flow Reconciliation
We consider our cash flow from operating activities to include all equipment inventory financing activity regardless of whether we obtain the financing from a manufacturer or other source. GAAP requires the cash flows associated with non-manufacturer floorplan payables to be recognized as financing cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. We consider equipment inventory financing with both manufacturers and other sources to be part of the normal operations of our business. We also evaluate our cash flow from operating activities by assuming a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory. Our equity in our equipment inventory reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables. Our adjustment to maintain a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory is equal to the difference between our actual level of equity in equipment inventory at each period-end as presented in the consolidated balance sheets compared to the actual level of equity in equipment inventory at the beginning of the fiscal year. We refer to this measure of cash flow as Adjusted Cash Flow.
Our equity in equipment inventory decreased to 17.4% as of July 31, 2019 from 34.4% as of January 31, 2019, and decreased to 22.8% as of July 31, 2018 from 38.2% as of January 31, 2018.
Adjusted Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Cash Flow is relevant and useful to our investors because it provides information on activities we consider to be the normal operation of our business, regardless of financing source and level of financing for our equipment inventory. The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used for) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to adjusted net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities, a GAAP measure, to adjusted net cash provided by (used for) financing activities.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of July 31, 2019, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019, and in other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements are statements based on future expectations and specifically may include, among other things, statements relating to our expectations regarding exchange rate and interest rate impact on our business, the impact of farm income levels on our customers' demand for agricultural equipment and services, the impact of oil prices on market demand for equipment and services, the general market conditions of the agricultural and construction industries, equipment inventory levels, and our primary liquidity sources and adequacy of our capital resources. Any statements that are not based upon historical facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking statements. The words “potential,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, adverse market conditions in the agricultural and construction equipment industries, and those matters identified and discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we are not aware of any other factors, aside from those discussed in our Form 10-K, that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to changes in interest rates results from borrowing activities used to fund operations. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair value of financial instruments but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have both fixed and floating rate financing. Some of our floating rate credit facilities contain minimum rates of interest to be charged. Based upon our interest-bearing balances and interest rates as of July 31, 2019, holding other variables constant, a one percentage point increase in interest rates for the next 12-month period would decrease pre-tax earnings and cash flow by approximately $1.8 million. Conversely, a one percentage point decrease in interest rates for the next 12-month period would result in an increase to pre-tax earnings and cash flow of approximately $1.8 million. At July 31, 2019, we had floorplan payables of $451.9 million, of which approximately $182.7 million was variable-rate floorplan payable and $269.3 million was non-interest bearing. In addition, at July 31, 2019, we had total long-term debt, including finance lease obligations, of $44.0 million, all of which was fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our foreign currency exposures arise as the result of our foreign operations. We are exposed to transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through our foreign entities’ holding assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency transaction risk as a result of certain intercompany financing transactions. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, or through natural hedging instruments. Based upon balances and exchange rates as of July 31, 2019, holding other variables constant, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. As of July 31, 2019, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $4.7 million of net monetary assets denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia ("UAH"). We have attempted to minimize our net monetary asset position in Ukraine through reducing overall asset levels in Ukraine and through borrowing in UAH which serves as a natural hedging instrument offsetting our net UAH denominated assets. At certain times, currency and payment controls imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine have limited our ability to manage our net monetary asset position. While the UAH has recently remained relatively stable, an escalation of political tensions or economic instability could lead to significant UAH devaluations, which could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk, we are also exposed to translational foreign currency exchange rate risk as we translate the results of operations and assets and liabilities of our foreign operations from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar. As a result, our results of operations, cash flows and net investment in our foreign operations may be adversely impacted by fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates, holding all other variables constant, would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims have, in the past, generally been covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may arise out of claims brought against us, or that our insurance will cover all claims. We are not currently a party to any material litigation.
ITEM 1A.             RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the important information in “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those factors, if they were to occur, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements in this report, and may materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors, aside from those discussed in our Form 10-K, that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
